The Woodlands Texas Village of Indian Springs
The fifth village to be opened in The Woodlands Texas
Founded in 1984, The Woodlands Texas Village of Indian Springs is a “land-locked” village, meaning it’s bordered on all sides, in this case, by other villages. The median construction year of residences is 1986, and the village is home to some very prestigious neighborhoods (subdivisions) in the area.
The discovery of Indian artifacts from the Bidai tribe of Atakapa Indians led to this Village’s unique name. In the early eighteenth century, the Bidai ranged across most of the land that would eventually become Montgomery County, Texas. By around 1900, virtually no trace of the tribe remained – until the artifacts were unearthed in 1984. This secluded village now consists of more than 2,100 homes and 6,345 residents. This is the only village featuring hilly terrain – perfect for the athlete in training.
Children living in this village attend some of the best schools in The Woodlands. Elementary-aged kids go to Galatas and Glen Loch, Wilkerson and McCullough are the local middle schools, and teenagers go to The Woodlands High School. The John cooper School, a private college preparatory academy for grades K-12 is located in this village, as well as the Interfaith Child Development Center. The renowned John Cooper School, a private college preparatory academy for students in grades K-12, is located in Indian Springs. Interfaith Child Development Center, one of the largest pre-school/child care centers, is also in this village.
